So two years of the GOP running the legislature with a "laser like focus on jobs" and this is where we are?

Maybe instead of the GOP focusing on everyone's private lives or trying to pass vindictive legislature they should actually focus like a "laser" on jobs like they campaigned on.

woohoo, you dismissed the report as old, I have proven it's current and while it only shows one month, this has been the trend, go ahead, you can look it up yourself.-Nancy

Because you can't prove your claim it is my job to disprove it? Disprove blue is my favorite color first!

"after the total collapse in 2008"

timexliving,

-WooHoo, always living in the past when you can blame Bush.

I did not know dates were the same as blame.

- Your man Obama is in his second term now. Blaming Bush doesn't work anymore

So how does Bush get so much create for "laying the groundwork?"

- Those aren't talking points; their facts. Facts are something you just can't handle.

Your OPINIONS are now "facts?" Okay...sure.

WooHoo, always living in the past when you can blame Bush. Your man Obama is in his second term now. Blaming Bush doesn't work anymore. Obama has failed miserably on his economic promises. Those aren't talking points; their facts. Facts are something you just can't handle.

Our economy is treading water, been treading water for years and years now.

Paint it with any brush you choose.

"Last quarter the nation's GDP was in the negative. "

And let's not even tell them about the debt to GDP ratio, which is rising faster than the tide ... that would cause all kinds of spinning!- Nancy

The last quarter was .2 percent (lets ignore the other three because those don't count in your world) in the negative and does your "gas buddy" link show you debt to GDP ratio after the total collapse in 2008 or do we just start counting those things when a republican leaves office?
